ti E IV S theo - ry one ay, and call for it to be put into practice the next, They adopt changes slowly, not from the love of change, but frOm the thorough conviction of their neces sity: If thelords create a general idea as to the neces ".sittof a ebange—you know whether they are doing it or ~i n t-Vlpend upon it that change will come. M cannot have a stronger engine at work for she alteration of the peerage (you see what it has already done) than the unchecked exercise of the will of the Peers. " Yes, you may say ; but in the meantime, three or four years are passed, and nothing done. Not so, according to your wishes and views, a great cleat is being done ; for you are effecting that very Reform, by the most effectual means, that you are contending for. You are forcing, day by day and hour by hour, the sense of its necessity on the public mind. What great measure was ever carried by less sa crifice ? " The House of Lords has stood, unchanged, many centuries. Cannot you devote to its alteratin a few years ? "In the meantime, it is not improbable, if we were to make a stano, that that stand would, in all policy, be made on no new question, attacking the presumed rights of another branch of the Legislature. But, on the old ques tions, which we have already carried, and which we may support by the exercise of rights vested, anciently and con stitutionally in us. " On Peerage Reform, if we brought it forward to-mor row, we should be in a minority ; but if we were in a ma jority, we should be little advanced. Would the Lords, who are refusing every other measure, consent to that ? " But we have powers, if we mean to engage with the Lords, which are as completely in the hands of the Com mons as the measures we have before spoken of may be considered in the hands of the Government. We have powers which a majority of one will enable us effectually to use. The Lords, to avert the exercise of such extreme powers, have rarely used their own powers in any extreme way. They now choose to do so. They choose to refuse their sanction to all laws coming from the Commons, and they say they have a right thus to act. There is, by-the bye, a beautiful saying of Lord Bolingbroke, in respect to rights and powers, which I would wish to call to their Lord ships' attention. " ' Even the infinite power of God Almighty,' says Lord Bolingbroke, is limited by his infinite wisdom.' " So I say of all human power ; it should be limited by its wise and discreet use, without which it has no divine sanction, and can have no long duration. " The Lords, however, choose to use their rights vio lently and indiscreetly—we have rights and powers of va rious descriptions, which we, as disregardless of them as they are of us, may use, if we are so minded. " They may think proper to maintain a species of go vernment in Ireland that can only be upheld by the sword. This is their right. But what is ours? Why we, if we choose, can put the sword into the scabbard. " If they will not sanction those laws which serve to establish good government in Ireland, we may refuse that army which can alone support a government of wrong. " With the measures that are to procure permanent tranquillity, we may couple the appropriation of that part of our revenue which is now employed in maintaining the temporary dominion of force. " Here we infringe no rights of the Constitution, no rights of the Lords. We stand upon our own rights— handed down to us by our forefathers. Nay, we use against the Barons the very weapon which they, the Barons, formerly used against the Monarch. Neither would any shock be given to credit. The only thing stopped would be the payment of a military force for main taining bad government in Ireland. We should only in fact be reducing our Army Estimates. Ido not say that this is a thing to be done without the utmost caution on the one hand, and the utmost provocation on the other. It should not in justice be attempted, unless every hope of compromise with the Lords were gone ; it should not in prudence be attempted, unless a majority in this, and a greater majority in the next House of Commons were likely to be in favour of it. But here is a step which ccn be taken by our majority of the Commons alone, and might consistently be in support of the measures which • that majority have voted. Yet let me not be misunderstood. " I merely instance, if matters came to a struggle of prerogative, one of those prerogatives which the Consti tution has given for such extreme cases to the national representatives—they have others also—as the history of our Constitution shows, not idle nor unimptirtant. " These prerogatives, doubtless, cannot be exercised by the Commons, as long as the Ministers of the Commons are in office. Things, however, will, ere long, be brought to a crisis." 'We entreat, with Bulwer, all Reformers to guard sedulously against divisions. We ask of those who have any influence with the Radicals throughout the country to avoid the practice of dwelling more on the faults of their allies, the Whigs, than on the wicked schemes of the enemies of all reform, the Tories. Let forbearance be exercised by the two sections of Re formers towards each other. A bad spirit has, we know, been generated in Cornwall, which it will re qn:re some skill to allay ; and the danger to be . appre hended is, lest One difference between Sir John Rash leigh and Sir W. Molesworth he visited on the Whigs elsewhere by the Radicals. We arc not altogether satisfied, for instance, with the propo , ition of the Ra dicals of Edinbugh to give a dinner to Lord Brougham. "We shall never, we trust, forget the great services of that Noble and Learned Lord, his exertions for the diffUsion of education, and his able advocacy of the cause of the people in times when reform was not in the ascendant. But in attempting to play off his Lordship against the present Ministers, do the Edin burgh Radicals forget what took place at the dinner to Lord Grey, when Lord Durham produced such a powerful effect by the manly and straightforward re proof he administered to his Lordship ? We wish not to dwell on the faults of the Noble and Learned Lord, and we are far from wishing that his services should not be held in recollection by the Edinburgh Radicals ; but they should also remember that it was the Noble and Learned Lord who declared, when last in Scot land, that Reform was going on too rapidly, and that the Lords were a useful check on the Commons. We beseech Reformers at Edinburgh and elsewhere not to allow themselves to be led by arts or intrigues from what is useful to the common cause. Let them bear in mind that division among Reformers is the triumph of Toryism. Mutual forbearance ought 4o be the motto of Reformers.—Morning Chronicle. Bad as we think, and always have thought of the Tories, their conduct is occasionally worthy of imita tion, and it is not to be denied that Reformers have now and then profited by hints which have been given them by their mortal enemies. A year or two since the Tories took it into their heads that a still greater union among each other than had previously existed, was desirable. They consequently formed themselves into Conservative Associations. The Reformers, like prudent men, immediately adopted the hint, and went and did likewise. The union which now exists among Reformers, thus brought indirectly about through the instrumentality of the Tories, is greater than at any former period—they are therefore at this time better prepared to act in concert, should, as there is every reason to believe there soon will be, any great crisis arise, than they ever were at any former time. We thank the Tories for this. But this is not the only recent instance in which the people of Eng land owe a debt of gratitude to the Conservatives, for services unintentionally rendered them. Some six or seven weeks ago, while the Reformers were as in active as if they had been wrapt in sleep, the Tories concluded that it would be useful to the Conservative 'cause if public dinners were got up by them in diffe rent parts of the country. To work, therefore, they forthwith went, and for three or four weeks the poor provincial editors had nothi ng to d o but report their gastronomic achievements. The faction had al ways been proverbial for their love of the good things of this life, and hence they flocked to the country dinners. From the specimen they afforded of their gormandising capabilities, compared with the attention they paid to the rhapsodies of their oratorically-inclin e d friends, it was clear to demonstration, the dinners i n question were fully as much an affair of the stomach as of pure immaterial Conservatism. The nonsense spouted at the Tory provincial dinners did serious damage to the cause; and has, of necessity, proved a corresponding ad vantage to the interests of Liberalism. Those dinners have been of use to the Reform cause in another and more di rect way. The Reformers, imitating as before mentioned, a good example, even when set them by their bitterest foes, have got up or are getting up Reform dinners and public meetings, in all parts of the country. Every provincial journal now teems with accounts of the proceedings at those dinners and meetings. The bold and healthy, in other words the truly English tone adopted on these occasions will be of infinite service to the Liberal cause. It is worthy of observation that the leading topic dwelt on is, the necessity that exists for a thorough reform of the House of Lords. This looks well ; it shows that the desire for such reform pervades the breast of every liberal throughout the country ; and it is equally clear, from the energy with which that desire is expressed, that it must be forth with gratified. Our columns yesterday .contained a report of a Reform Dinner at Halifax, at which a great many Members of Parliament were present. The opinions expressed, and the principles avowed on that occasion, deserve the serious consideration of the adverse party.—Morning Advertiser. Mr. Daniel O'Connell has written another letter. A letter from him, because of his position with regard to certain other parties, is always a peg whereon to hang some political discussion. The present is a long peg, and withal too slender to bear a voluminous argu ment. The real drift of this letter is easy enough to find out. It is merely to keep up at boiling heat the fermentation of which O'Connell has experienced the profitable influence upon his own fortunes in time past, and which he feels to be necessary to his future projects. He throws into a sort of parenthesis the obli gation upon every Papist—and Papist-bitten dupe of other creeds—to contribute with all his might to the funds of the " General Association," under the nick name of " Justice Rent." It is not a fortnight since he reprobated with earnest (if not with honest) indignation, the proposal of some eccentric simple ton, that the account should be rendered of the expenditure of the fund, which it is now manifest to all the world that this barefaced impostor means to have regarded as a secret service fund, to be employed as he shall dictate, or shall covertly ap propriate, for the return by corrupt means of him self, his family, and the greatest possible num ber of abject instruments and vassals, for Irish seats in the Imperial House of Commons, that he may thereby have the means of forcing upon the prostrate Whigs as many preliminary measures as pos sible, tending towards the extortion of property and li berty out of Protestant hands ; which measures he avows his settled purpose of converting afterwards into levers, for wresting away all that England may still have in her keeping. The " justice rent" re quired by O'Connell, therefore, is no more than an election fund, to be spent on objects and in schemes confessedly hostile to the Monarchy and Constitution of Great Britain. Amidst the apparent rambling and unworkmanlike looseness of this letter, there. is, as we have before observed, one main purpose never once los sight of—viz., the supply of fuel to that devouring fire with which he tortures his poor countrymen out of their natural and healthful repose ; and there is one favourite lesson inculcated upon them—namely, that as he himself never will be contented, so ought not the Irish Papists. Sober but half-reflecting men may call this imprudence in Mr. Daniel O'Connell. It is impru dence only so far as, in the long run, all selfish cunning and hardened wickedness are fatally imprudent ; but for the immediate aim at which he drives, his methods of delusion indicate extreme dexterity. He wants to insure a long course of agitation, and to lay up a magazine of prepared and inexhaustible disaffection among the Papists of Ireland, and he goes adroitly to his point. The man is a ruthless, at the same time that he is a subtle, tyrant. He has no mercy on the Ministers whom he has degraded ; nor even does his avowal of what lie means yet further to wring from them, at their country's cost, induce their taskmaster to abate one particle of bitterness in his indications of contempt for their unutterable meanness. He begins by alleging broadly, that the support he gave Lord Melbourne and his colleagues was " unstained by any compromise or compact upon either part." What, then, was the noisy boast at Ashburnham-house a mere " rhetorical flourish," a downright falsehood ? What says Mr. Sheil to this? But indeed that learned rhetorician well knows, what is a secret to few persons on either side the House, that O'Connell mortally de tests the name of Sheil, and will ruin him at the first opportunity. No man can have forgotten that the argu ment—the single thing in the shape of argument—offer ed by the Lords J. Russell and Morpeth, in defence of the clause for taking away from the Irish clergy an in come which has a real existence, under the mask of a surplus which never will exist at all, was, that it would satisfy the Irish Roman Catholics, and would restore peace to the country. Now mark the words of Mr. Daniel O'Connell—" The governing rule of my poli tical conduct has been to obtain for Ireland as much as I possibly could." Not as much as he ought, be it remembered, but as much as he could. Thus, at the very outset, might, not right, was to be the mea sure of his extortions from this country. He goes on—" I look for the payment of the tokole (debt to Ireland), and never will be satisfied until the whole shall be paid in full ; but in the meantime I will take any instalment, however small, at any time, when to get more is out of my power, and then go on for the balance !" " I realize for Ireland all I can get, and having got part, I am thus better able to seek the rest." Attend to this, ye Protestants of both countries, and be wise while yet you have time. But let O'Connell proceed, and hang himself and the Whig Cabinet together in the same cord. After railing at the folly of those Irish Papists Who would refuse to take all they could from the British Parlia ment as a means of getting more, he subjoins—" For my part I could not hesitate one moment, and accord ing I heartily supported the Ministry of Lord Mel bourne in their measure of tithe relief, NOT not as giving all I wanted, hut as giving us a part, and es tablishing an appropriation principle, which would necessarily produce much more !" " Nothing could be so absurd as the allegation of its finality" —viz., the finality of that Morpeth measure. Very well, here we take our stand. Lord J. Russell, urged the House of Commons to accept the Bill, because it would satisfy the Roman Catholics, and therefore tranquillize Ireland. Mr. O'Connell declares that he accepted it, conscious that it would not satisfy the Roman Catholics, and that it would serve, not as a tranquillizer of Ire land, but as a means of facilitating the further and more successful agitation of that country. Lord J. Russell recommended it as a final measure with regard to Irish tithe. Mr. O'Connell declares that nothing could be so absurd as to allege that it was final. He again de clares that he—and by himself he means the Irish Catholics—will never be satisfied without the entire abolition of the right of the Protestant Church to tithe, and that therefore his own proposed deduction of 42/. 10s. per cent. from the clergy was but a " small instalment" of what was due to Ireland. If this be not plain speaking, we are at a loss to know what is. If this be not open, contemptuous defiance of the Whigs, and giving them the lie in their teeth, what is ? But if this, with other disclosures, do not be come, under Providence, the means.of opening the eyes of England, and rescuing her from the vile and atrocious harpies who now prey upon her glory, her welfare, and her peace, then are our anticipations false, our hopes blasted, and our own efforts nerveless in the cause of truth and of our country.—Times.. The Standard had lately some appropriate obser vations respecting the liberal donation of one thousand pounds by the Duke of Portland, towards the volun tary fund for building new churches in the metropolis, in answer to the Bishop of London's timely and ju dicious appeal. Let us here remark, that the success of that appeal, as well as the munificent liberalities with which the British public came forward to assist the suffering Irish Clergy, driven to the verge of starvation by the blockade system of the Popish allieS of the Whig Ministers, prove, that if Government be false and treacherous to the interests of the Protes tant religion, there is a feeling of attachment and veneration in the public mind for our Protestant In stitutions, which becomes stronger in proportion to the dangers to which they are exposed. That Christian and truly patriotic feeling never had greater occasion to be called into action since the time when the " se ven Bishops" of glorious memory rallied the na tional energies around the Constitution, which a Popish th e tyrant threatened to subvert, than at the present day, when monster-coalition of Whig , Ministers and Popish d emocrats t h reatens to repea l the reformation of teligion in this country, and to bring about a counter-moveme n t to the revolution of 1688. We do not say that the intentions of the Whig Ministers go this length, but we do, with all the reflecting and enlightened of England, maintain that the im becility arid peoplecraven foils of the Whig policy has an inevitable tendency to such a consummation. That policy is, however, fast app roac hi ng t h e en d o f i ts ca reer. Its fantastic tricks in this country have been bad enough, but in Ireland they have lately transcended in mischievous absurdity anything that we could anticipate of any branch even of the unprincipled and silly Whig Government. Those who have read the correspondence between the Rev. Mr. Martin, and the Rev. Mr. Moore, and Lord Mulgrave's Go vernment, touching the late astounding attacks of the Popish party upon the religious liberty of Pro testants, will need no further evidence to convince them that such a Government is rapidly accelerating the fate to which the national indignation will eventually consign it. But, to return to the point at which we began—the subscription for new metropolitan churches and the observations of the Standard, in reference to the Duke of Portland's donation. We feel that those observations are so full of truth and point, they will well bear to be reprinted. Our Contemporary says, " We rejoice to see among the more recent subscrip tions, answering the Bishop of London's appeal, the name of the Duke of Portland, prefixed to a donation of 1,0001. This liberal contribution is graceful and natural, but it is no more than might have been ex pected, from the Noble donor's character, and his po sition as a considerable proprietor in the neighbourhood of the metropolis. Such a handsome testimony to this Noble man's sense of his high responsibility na turally forces our thoughts to the conduct of other Noblemen as extensive proprietors in the neigh bourhood of London, as the Duke 15f Portland, and some of them possessing more metropolitan property than his Grace. There is the Duke of Bedford—the super-liberal subscriber to the O'Con nell rent—the father of the official organ of the 'Voluntaries,' and the gorged Leviathan of Church property, how far has his liberality carried him in this matter ? To what extent does his Grace embrace this opportunity of applying the voluntary principle ? What quit rent from his mass of Church plunder is he willing to render to the altar of God, from which his whole mountain of wealth was torn ? Next comes the Marquis of Westminster, beyond all comparison the most extensive proprietor of houses and lands in the metropolitan county. What has his Lordship con tributed ? To these Noblemen the Duke of Port land's subscription reads a lesson by which we hope they will profit so far as to render our future reference to the point unnecessary." Perhaps it was too much to ask those Behemoth Whig proprietors to build up the Church with one hand while assisting to pull it down with the other. One of them threw 1001. into the wallet of the mendicant Agitator of Ireland, but we do not see that either he or any other great Whig landlord has svbscribed 100 farthings to the relief of the deplorable wretchedness of O'Connell's naked and starving countrymen. The mendicity fund in Dublin has become bankrupt that the wallet may be filled. Such is Whig " justice to Ireland."—Morn Herald. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, as our readers will see on perusing his address to the Lord Mayor of Dublin, has been doing all that he can, which is not much, to extol the merits of the Ministerial scheme for rendering the corporations of Ireland exclusively Roman Catholic and Radical. Lord Mulgrave is not a nobleman from whom in any circumstances we should expect much light to be thrown upon a disputed ques tion of any kind. But, when speaking at Dublin Castle, under the immediate eye of the Dictator of the Government which employs him, and especially when labouring to give the best reply in his power to so able and judicious a speaker as the Recorder of Dublin, it can excite no surprise that his Lord ship should sink under the weight of the task he had gratuitously undertaken. We say gratuitously, because the immediate representative of Majesty in Ireland, however his opinions and those of the Government which has sent him there may differ from the opinions which are entertained by the Re corder of Dublin and the Corporation whose senti ments he expresses, it is not incumbent upon the Viceroy to engage in controversial warfare with the officer of the Corporation ; and it is his especial bu siness to avoid such warfare, when, as in the present case, lie is sure to have the worst in the contest. Who but Lord Mulgrave himself could ever have ex pected his Lordship, with all the aid even which pre vious conferences with Lord Morpeth could afford him, to he an equal match for Mr. Shaw ? His Lordship should have stood upon his dignity. There he would have been safe, as Lords Lieutenant should always try to be. But, when such a Lord Lieutenant of Ire land as Lord Mulgrave is, attempts to cope with such a law officer as the Corporation of Dublin has the good fortune to possess in Mr. Shaw, the odds are fearful—so fearful, indeed, that all the world, aides de-camp and gentlemen ushers included, instinctively tremble for the Lord Lieutenant ; nor is this general trepidation in any degree allayed by the circum stance that the form of proceeding is such as to give the Lord Lieutenant the advantage of the last word. The Recorder of Dublin had justly eulogised the services which in past times the Corporation of Dub lin had rendered to the common weal, in pursuance of the objects for which it had been chartered—the maintenance of loyalty to the British Crown and the support of British connection. How does the sapient Lord Lieutenant answer this ? " I would wish," says the intellectual Viceroy, " that the substance and the essential usefulness of that ancient institution should be preserved, and I think anyone who marks the progress of opinions in their day must see that if an adaptation of the institutions to the altered circum stances of the times were once admitted to be desir able, it must rather be procured by the extension than by the extinction of popular privileges !" Admirable logician The Irish Corporations were instituted for the purpose of maintaining and upholding the connec tion with Great Britain ; this was " the substance and the essential usefulness of those bodies ;" and, accord ing to our wise Viceroy, these are to be preserved by plac ing the Irish Corporations exclusively in the hands of the undisguised enemies of British connection. Does Lord kulgraye dispute either of these propositions-- that the proposed reform of the Irish corporations would place them absolutely in the hands of the Priest or O'Connell faction, or that this faction are the enemies of British connection ? His Lordship, wisely for his own purposes, overlooks these impor tant questions, which, in truth, admit of but one answer, and that unfortunately not the answer that suits his' purpose. What is it to such a reasoner as his Lordship for what purposes these institutions were established in Ireland ? What is it to him that, if remodelled, as he would remodel them, they must, of necessity, mili tate against the objects for the promotion of which they were established ? " Popular privileges" are the es tablished pretext under favour of which he and those who act with him would convert the popular institu tions of his country into the strong-holds of Popery, despotism, and persecution, the rallying point, the field of re-union, to all the enemies of the in stitutions of Great Britain. The Noble Lord at tempted to show that it would be good and liberal policy to give to Mr. O'Connell and the Roman Catholic Priests all the Corporations of Ireland— Cor porations established expressly for the maintenance of Protestantism, and which never have done any good, and never were intended to do any, otherwise than by means of their Protestant character—and can our readers imagine by what kind of proof ? By the ex ' ample of Numa Pompilius. This comes of being a man of letters, and an author. Who but the pur veyor to circulating libraries would ever have thought of Numa Pompilius when the subject under discussion was, whether the Corporations of Ireland, now and heretofore Protestant, should, by an act of the British Legislature, be rendered exclusively Popish ? Good Numa and the goddess with whom, if we rightly remember, he was in the habit of consulting in a cave —and Lord Mulgrave surely will not boast any celestial inspiration—had no religious contentions tocompose, no religious animosities to overcome. Numa might be an excellent Legislator for infant Rome, yet Lord Melbourne, Lord John Rus selol,L and or d Mulgrave, and Lord Morpeth, may be very indifferent legislators for Roman Catholic Ire land. This Lord Mulgrave does not perceive, which is to be lamented ; we must leave him, therefore, in un 4isputed possession of the authority of Numa Pompi iiiis, with which his Lordship will be abundantly con tent, implying, as his Lordship will probably imagine it does, the privilege of seeking inspiration from such divinities as are to be met with in the caves of Dublin. From a Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, lecturing upon a question of grave national importance, something more and better might have been expected than a schoolboy allusion to the early and uncertain history of Rome. But the Noble Lord was not in the wrong. It would have been dif4cult s to find any solid or statesmanlike reasons for the policy which the Noble Lord and his friends have adopted on the Corporation question ; and although his Lordship is notby any means strong in classical allusion or poetical simile, these were perhaps the best resources to which, in his incapacity for rea soning and in the inapplicability of reasoning to his subject, it was impossible for him to resort.--Mo rning Post. THE CHIPSTE AD BURGLARY. Charles Belser, the man who was charged with being con cerned in the daring burglary at Chipstead, was brought up yesterday, at the Croydon Petty Sessions, for final exami nation. In September of last year a daring attack was made upon the Mint House, Chipstead, the residence of Captain Fre derick Ranken, by a gang of desperate ruffians, who, for nearly two hours, were only kept at bay by the determined conduct of the inmates, and were not driven off until one of the gang fell, as it was supposed, mortally wounded by Capt. Ranken's gun. The wounded man was discovered the next morning, and his apprehension was the means of another of the gang, William Harley, being taken. These two men were tried for the offence, with a man named Fisher, the latter of whom was acquitted, hut Hills and Harley were convicted, and the latter suffered, and Hills was sentenced to transpor tation for life. The whole of the gang, with the excep tion of the prisoner Belser, were subsequently tried for other offences, and several were transported. Belser has been hiding about ever since, and eluded the vigilance of all the officers who e ndeavoured to apprehend him until within the last few days, when Cook, the chief of the Kingston police, from information he received went to a beer shop at Hook, near Kingston, and there apprehended the prisoner. As ho was conveying him to Kingston, the prisoner said he supposed they would " top" (hang) him for the Chipstead job. The constable then asked him how he and the others came to leave their unfortunate companion when he was so desperately wounded, and Belser replied that they thought he was so hard hit that he would be a " croaker." He was then taken before Mr. Reid, at his residence, Thornton Heath, and was remanded by that gentleman until yester day. Captain Ranken and Miss Long, and several other witnesses, were examined. It was proved that the pri soner had been seen in the company of the burglars shortly before and after the burglary was committed, but his immediate connection with the offence could not be brought home to him. Under these circumstances the Magistrates consulted together, and after same deliberation the Chairman, addressing the prisoner, told him that, al though the Bench had no moral doubt of his guilt, yet they did not think the legal evidence sufficient to warrant them in sending him to take his trial. The prisoner was then liberated upon this charge, but he was immediately taken into custody on suspicion of being concerned in an other burglary at the residence of Sir Thomas Williams, near Kingston. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday forenoon, Mr. STIRLING and a highly respectable Jury, the Churchwardens of the parish of Clerkenwell, and some of the Overseers, being sworn, sat at the Cherry Tree, in Bowling-green-lane, Clerkenwell, to inquire relative to the death of a female infant child, which was alleged to have taken place in consequence of some wilful misconduct on the part of the parents. The case was expected to have been one of great interest, from the suspicions which had been excited ; but the Jury, after going most minutely into the evidence, returned the follow ing verdict—" That the deceased died a natural death. The Jury also find that the child appeared to have been a healthy child born, and was, during its existence, greatly neglected by its parents." An inquest was held at the Prince Regent, in Kenning ton-street, Walworth, before Mr. Carter, on the body of Mr. Samuel Stewart, formerly a hatter in the City, who destroyed himself by hanging. Miss Stewart, the deceased's eldest daughter, deposed that about six weeks ago her mo ther died, since which period her father had frequently ex hibited great despondency of mind, from which nothing that the family could do had the effect of arousing him. A few days ago he went to see his sister at Peckham, and, having stayed to dinner, he returned home early in the evening, equally as much depressed in spirits as ever, and employed himself in writing until bedtime. About nine o'clock witness went into the room where her father was, and perceiving that he appeared tired and exhausted, ad vised him to go to bed. He then desired her to take care of the papers upon which he had been writing, and retired to his chamber. The following morning, the deceased not coming down stairs at his usual hour, witness went up to his room, and was shocked upon seeing him lying on the floor at the foot of the bed, and apparently dead. Mr. Elliott, a neighbour, having been immediately called in, it was then discovered that the deceased was lifeless, and that a piece of cord was tied firmly round his neck ; another piece of cord was also found tied to the tester of the bed, from which it appeared that the cord had broken, by the deceased's weight, and that he fell to the floor, and had remained in that situation until he was discovered the next morning. The deceased had all his clothes on. The Jury concurred in the opinion that the deceased bad committed the act of self-destruction while labouring under temporary insanity, and a verdict to this effect was accord ingly returned.

A boy of the name of Chandley, who had been watching crows near Hornsea, on his return home a few days since, left his gun in the corner of the room. A little fellow about nine years of age, the son of a milkman of the name of Tucker, running into the room and taking the gun, ex claimed " Joe, I'll shoot you," and on pulling the trigger, wounded his young friend in the right hand and thigh. Two gentlemen riding past at the time alighted, and gave every as sistance in their power. One of them, shaking the little fel low, said he would have him hanged, which had such an ef fect on him, that the next morning he was unable to rise from his bed. He cried, and " hoped Joe would be better." He was answered he was getting better, and that he might go and see him. He did so the following day, and appeared more compored, but his feelings were too great for his strength, and on Thursday morning he died. The wounded boy is now walking about.— North Derbyshire Chronicle. Last Friday, as the Safety Coach was leaving the Crown Hotel, at Southwell, with a full load of luggage and passengers, the fine team of spirited horses started round the acute angle to the right, instead of to the left, and in bearing them to the left the coach was worked on the short lock, the off wheels running over the foot pavement, which is from eight to twelve inches in height. A concussion which broke one of the springs was the consequence ; but the coach was unimpeded by the accident.—Nottingham Review. The reception given to the Poor Law Commis sioner, on Thursday, reflects but little credit on the town. It is neither honourable nor manly to refuse to listen even to an opponent; and the simple effect of the clamour in this parti cular case will be that the law will be carried into effect without our consent or concurrence, whereas its operation might have been ma de to suit our local: conveniencies and pe culiarities of situation. But we shall'eturn to the subject in our next.--Carlisle Journal.' INSOLVENT COURT-MONDAY. Thomas Holland Edge, alias Thomas Holland, a young man, was opposed in propria persona by Mr. Earp, tailor, New-street, Covent-garden. The insolvent, a flower-painter in water-colours, had obtained clothes of Mr. Earp to the amount of 231., and had " accommodated his creditor by introducing a friend as a customer, who had not paid his account. He stated that he had come from the Conti nent, and was studying the arts ; he wanted an outfit, such as two suits of clothes and a cloak, and, if his terms would suit, he should have his orders. Mr. Earp agreed to give him six months' credit ; he understood he was cle ver in his profession. When the account reached 151., the insolvent offered a bill of exchange for 251., and re quired the difference, but he did not succeed. The cre ditor gave him further credit ; he made him a fashionable cloak, which was pledged in two days afterwards for 3/. He introduced a friend, and Mr. Earp made him a cloak and waistcoat, which were delivered at the insolvent's re sidence in Charles-street, Covent-garden. He warned Mr. Earp not to give the friend further credit, and he gave him an order to deliver the articles on receiving the sum of Si. ; but the insolvent soon afterwards pledged them, and made a " set off" for what the friend owed him at gaming. The ticket he delivered to the friend, and the " mortgage deed" for his own cloak was produced in Court " for the benefit of the creditors." The insolvent had assumed the named of Holland, as his half-brother was well known as a flower-painter, and he had realised about 1201. a year as profit. He admitted that he had played at billiards and won money ; he was not a loser. The opposing creditor complained that the insolvent could have had no intention of paying for the clothes. The pawning of the articles proved the facts. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER adjudged the in solvent, at the suit of Mr. Earp, to an imprisonment of four calendar months, for fraudulently contracting his debt. COURT OF REQUESTS.-MONDAY A LOQUACIOUS MODERN TRAPPlST.—Mr.DanielDavid Few, a little old gentleman, very much resembling Mr. John Arthur Roebuck, M.P., was summoned for the sum 4 of 16s. 6d. for rent alleged to be due and owing to Peter Thomas, his landlord. Daniel's appearance was most ex traordinary ; although known to be in possession of consi derable property, his garb was that of the most squalid wretchedness, and upon his head he wore a bundle of calico rags knotted together, for the purpose of keeping warm a head which either time or depravity had rendered quite bald. Mr. Peter Thomas having stated his complaint, the following dialogue took place : Mr. Commissioner Dußois—Now, Daniel, take those rags off your head. Daniel—l shan't ; I mought as well ax you to take that there wig off—there ain't no for to compel me, and so I shan't take 'em off.—(Considerable laughter.) COMMISSIONER—WeII, upon my word, I never saw any one so determined to be comfortable at the expense of de cency. Do you owe this money, Mr. Daniel ? Daniel—No, I doesn't ; and as I said to him afore he comes to this here Court, Muster Thomas, says I, if you goes for to swear as how I hoes you this ear money, s'elp my —l'll physic yer. Now, as I said afore, if so be as you'll swear him I'll put you up to summut as you don't no nothink about. I'v seen a good deal in my time, and— COMMISSIONER—Do hold your tongue Sir, and hand up your rent book. Daniel (with a knowing wink)—Wide —oh—in regard of that, I sharnt hold up no rent book, not till sich times as Peter Thomas swears I owes him 16s. 6d. You aint got no ord'nary feller to deal with, and this here concern just puts me in mind of what happened jest this time 9 years. A feller summoned me to this ere werry place for— COMMISSIONER—SiIence, Sir ! Pray, do be quiet, and hand up your rent book. I shall not allow you to entrap the plaintiff into a false oath. Will you hand up your rent book ? Daniel—There, now ! you just reminds me of a feller as I heard when I was a boy—a poor hinnocent man was— CommissioNEß Order, Sir order ! If you don't keep to the point, I'll dismiss the case. Keep to the point, Sir. Daniel—That's the worry thing as I likes, and I often says to my wife—" Sarah,"—when she's pitching me a long yarn—" Sarah," says I, " whenever you goes for to tell me—" COMMISSIONER—For Heaven's sake, keep that man quiet ! Now, Daniel, if you do not think proper to pro duce your rent-kook, I shall make you pay the whole amount sued for. On this intimation Daniel handed up the rent book— from which it appeared that his landlord had made an over charge of nine shillings. On being asked how he would pay the balance, 7s. 6d., Daniel pulled out a handful of sovereigns, and paid it forthwith. Then, turning to the Commissioner with a patronising air, he delivered himself as follows :—" You see, Mister Sir, there's three sorts of people wot owes money. In the first place, there's the Tory he says he shan't pay—slap. Then there's the snivelling Whig'; he promerses to pay. Then there's the bout and bout Radical, he ses, Vy, I DID pay:—(Consi derable laughter.) Now, my Lord, I don't belong to none o'n em,•and so 1 wishes you a werry good mavvning." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A gentleman, named Bult, of Hornsey-lane, Highgate, appeared before the LORD MAYOR, to complain of treat ment which he and his family experienced on board a steamer, called the Brocklebrink. Mr. Bult and his family, consisting in all of nine persons, came away from Southend in the Broch/cbank, steamer for London. In consequence of an accident which happened to the boiler soon after their departure the vessel was stopped in her course. They had proceeded very little further upon the voyage when a similar accident happened, and the distress of all the pas sengers was very great. Witness applied to the Captain to put back to Southenk and the Captain was willing to do so, but was prevented by other persons. There were no provisions on board, and, in fact, no accommodation of any kind ; and the Captain admitted that the vessel was not sea-worthy. They were detained six hours by the incapable condition of the vessel ; and after a vast deal of annoyance reached London, he (witness) having in curred an additional expense of 41. His great object in applying to the Lord Mayor was to expose the matter properly ; for although the seaworthiness of the vessel was denied by the best authority, she went off next morning upon, he believed, a similar mission. The LORD MAYOR advised Mr. Bult to send in his bill to the proprietors, who, he had every reason to suppose, would pay it, and lay up the worn-out hulk. HATTON-GARDEZ William Price, a working man, apparently in distress, was brought before Mr. LAING, in custody of a constable of the N division, charged with being found wandering about the streets at Islington, in a state of destitution. The prisoner did not deny the charge, and said that he had no place to go to, or money to procure for himself food or lodging, and he was compelled to wander about the streets. Mr. LAING inquired what he was brought up to ? Pri soner—l am an iron-worker, and was employed at Messrs. Maudsley's manufactory until the Unions started, when, in consequence of not joining them, I was persecuted and threatened, and I have been unable to procure work through their intimidation. Mr. LAING—Did the men strike for wages ? Prisoner ; they insisted upon working only ten hours a day in stead of ten hours and a half, for 265. to 30s. per week. He might procure work at Birmingham or Liverpool, if he could get there, but he had not the means of doing so. Mr. LAING would assist him with the means to enable him to proceed to Liverpool, where he could get employ ment, and directed him to call again, and some inquiries should be made relative to his case. The prisoner was discharged, and, thanking the Magis trate, he quitted the office. MARYLEBONE. John Rider, a journeyman shoemaker, was placed at the bar, charged with cutting and wounding Thomas Hook, his father-in-law, whose life is thereby placed in danger. The prisoner was remanded for a week. LAMBETH-STREET. A very jolly-looking :li fellow named Davidson, a pilot at Limehouse, during the hours of business presented him self at the entrance to the Justice-room, and expressed a strong desire to see the Magistrates. The officer on duty perceiving him to be at least three sheets in the wind, and having refused to state the nature of his business, hesitated to admit him, upon which he expressed some indignation at his refusal. "He had been," he said, " a boatswain on board the Gloucester, 74, while his present Majesty, the Duke of Clarence, served in that vessel, and spun many a yarn to his Royal Highness, by whom he was not as yet forgotten. He had also served at the battle of Navarino under Sir Edward Codrington, and at several other engage ments, and it was hard," he continued, " that he could not have a few words with their Honours." Having at length been admitted, he was asked by Mr. HARDWICK the nature of his business, or what he could do for him ? Applicant—l want your Worship's advice about m y w ife. I found her in Stepney churchyard in a very sus picious manner with a man, and I at once desired her to leave him and come home with me ; but she refused to do so unless he came home also ; so they both came, and I re peatedly asked my wife to come in doors. Mr. HARDWICK—WeII, what do you want us to do for you ? We cannot compel her to go home with you if she does not like. Applicant—l forgot to tell your Worships that I found some letters from a soldier to my wife, a!:14 if she does not Tic). come back and live comfortably with me, w hy your 11 nours must give me a Mr. HARDWICK—We vorce cannot do that either. You taus apply at Doctors' Common. Applicant That I will s instanter, and so saying he. 'L eft the M offi . Miller,r the chief officer, told the Magistrates tl'ist Mrs. Davidson bad applied at the office in the course of t h 4 morning for a warrant against her husband. W ORSHIP- STREET. A tradesman of the name of Wiggins, living in Green" street, Bethnal Green, appeared before Messrs. TwYrottv and GROVE to a peace warrant, taken out by Mrs. Wig— gins, charging him with putting her in fear of her life. The complainant had been married to the defendant. above twelve years, and they had four children, the eldest or whom is twelve years old. She had led a very uncomfor— table life for some months past, which latterly was so bael that she was induced to take the present step. Mr. TWYFORD—Why, what does he mean by such come duct ? What has he done to you ? Complainant -- . Friday last he struck me, and took up a candlestick, wio°ll he flung at my head ; and on Monday he stated t o me the t if I did not go away and leave him, he would be th e de; it h of me. Mr. Twvrortn—l see a bundle by the side of you. Complainant—When he told me that he woul d be • be death of me if I did not leave, he took these clothes ou eo of tny drawer, and told me to put them on and leave , threa i ng that if I refused he would put the clothes on the &re, when, as I persisted in nit putting them on, he placed t'o l on the fire. The defendant did not deny the charge, but alleged Cha t it was the wife's temper which was the cause of his condo No one could be more comfortable than the complains nt , who went to Church when she pleased, and did as sir, liked. She had a shop to look after, and so long as she: diu not interfere they agreed very well together, and might be, the happiest couple in the world. She took the rel tit °I three freehold houses, and made use of the money in- her business. Mr. TwYFoRD—It is quite lamentable to see you ; 0 ° , ll in this way, when you seem to do so well in the work ' What is the reason of it ?—Defendant—She toi vent s me—she nags me cruelly. Mr. TwYFoRD—Why, what does she do ?—r)efendant —When I return home, she asks me, " Where have Y° ll been ?" I reply, " What is that to you? Let me aloir t° attend to my business, and you attend to yours. will 0 . away altogether." She then calls me a good-fo e -nothl rogue, and accuses me of being false. A few day S ag l3 ., put forty sovereigns on the table, and told her to pint thew in the drawer. She refused to do so until I had lei t her. Mr. TWYFORD—You hear what he says. Complainant—The fact is, our tempers do not ag T ee. A person here stepped forward, of demure cast o f coun tenance which seemed not to have been enlivened by $ smile for many a day. He stated that he had kmovi° the complainant twenty-four years, and that she was a sert wis ' steady woman. No one could be more industrious.. The defendant, who observed that he did not w, i nt a n y stranger to interfere between him and his partner, will the n held to bail. THAMES- OFFICE. Yesterday, Elizabeth Naglc, a well-dressed young fe ; male, and Martha Paine, an aged and infirm woman, we a brought before Mr. CLAItKSON, charged with dropping child in the streets.
